About the job
The Condensed Matter and Quantum Information Theory groups, led by Laura Classen, Michael Knap, Johannes Knolle, Barbara Kraus, Sanjay Moudgalya, Marko Ljubotina, Frank Pollmann, and Peter Rabl expect to appoint one or more postdoctoral fellows in Fall 2026 (with flexible starting date). We are looking for candidates who are interested in condensed matter and quantum information theory including:
quantum many-body systems, entanglement, nonequilibrium quantum dynamics, quantum materials, strongly correlated electrons, topological phases of matter, superconductivity, quantum optics, ultracold quantum gases, quantum simulation, quantum computing, and verification of quantum devices.
For inquiries, please send your curriculum vitae and a brief research statement. Candidates should also arrange for letters of recommendation to be submitted from two scientists familiar with their work.
Applications and supporting material should be submitted on this website by November 23th, 2025.
However, later applications may also be considered. Successful candidates will be strongly encouraged to join ongoing international collaborations with leading experimental and theoretical researchers.
Further information can be found at https://www.ph.nat.tum.de/cmt/.
The postdoctoral fellowship from the Condensed Matter and Quantum Theory groups at TUM is planned to be offered every Fall.
Remuneration will be based on the collective agreement for the Civil Service in the federal states (TV-L). TUM is an equal opportunity employer. The university strives to raise the proportion of women and explicitly encourages applications from qualified female candidates. Applications from disabled candidates with essentially the same qualifications will be given preference.
